Visit US If You're Not The Aisha Mentioned In Halliburton Bribery Scandal - Fayose Challenges Buhari's Wife
Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has alleged that Mrs Buhari has
been avoiding travelling to the US in order to evade arrest for her
alleged involvement in the Halliburton scandal.
The Governor has also dared President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, Aisha to
visit the United States of America to convince Nigerians that she was
not the Aisha Buhari mentioned in the scandal.
Fayose had on Monday stated that the President’s wife was the person allegedly indicted by a US Court for transferring $170,000 to indicted US Congressman, Williams Jefferson, in the Halliburton scandal.
Speaking in a statement issued through his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu
Adelusi, on Wednesday, the Governor “challenged the president’s wife to
visit the United States of America to convince Nigerians that she was
not the Aisha Buhari mentioned in the judgment convicting William
Jefferson.”
“It is on record that the President has visited USA three times and his wife did not travel with him.
“She ought to have visited USA last year September to chair a United
Nation programme but she sent the wife of the Senate President, Mrs
Toyin Saraki to represent her,” he said.
“I advise that they should keep their gun pounder dry and wait till
the end of my tenure in 2018 and I want to assure them that I will be
available to answer any of their questions, no matter how unreasonable,”
he added.
